J Balvin, Anitta and Jeon’s “Machika” represents a combination of cultures where they only show that they are the best in town.
The single was born after J Balvin met Jeon, who wrote the song. Balvin hit the studio with the Aruban songwriter and felt that the project needed somebody else to spice it up, and called Brazilian singer Anitta.

Machika
[J Balvin]
Let’s, Let’s break (hey)
There’s no time to waste (hey)
From the disco to the motel (uh)
Worse than Anabelle
Dances and everyone do the chorus for her
Leaves you marked as Zorro
I do not waste my time, it’s gold
Everything I spend, I don’t save
[Jeon]
Machika, machika, machika
Turbo, nitro in the machine
Always forwards, never backwards
Here we are tough, we’re global
[J Balvin]
I’m very drunk and I can’t anymore, and I can’t anymore
I’m very drunk and I can’t anymore, and I can’t anymore
[Jeon, J Balvin]
Machika, machika, machika, machika
Machika, machika, machika, machika
Machika, machika, machika, machika
Machika, machika, machika, machika, machika
[Anitta]
Hot even in the fridge
At the top without a ladder
The feeling of the ghetto
Went out to break boundaries
Women like me who do not quit
Who, from far away are identified
They are always there when they’re wanted
Achica, I am your girl
[J Balvin]
Represent your flag
My music is new era
They play me everywhere
girl, you’re burning yourself?
[Anitta, J Balvin]
I’m very drunk and I can’t anymore, and I can’t anymore
I’m very drunk and I can’t anymore, and I can’t anymore
[Jeon, J Balvin]
Machika, machika, machika, machika
Machika, machika, machika, machika
Machika, machika, machika, machika
Machika, machika, machika, machika, machika
[Jeon]
Give it slowly, the warning blow
Came to meet Julissa
I come with the good vibes
With J Balvin, with Anitta
Machika, machika, machika
Turbo, nitro in the machine
We’re live mommy, you already know that
What was there, come on, let’s go, girl
